About events in Flemington

Flemington sits just a short train ride from Melbourne’s city centre, yet it has a pace and spirit all its own. Known best for its racecourse, Flemington draws crowds for grand gatherings but also thrives with its quieter charm on non-race days. The neighbourhood’s leafy streets are dotted with Victorian homes, casual cafes and a lively mix of shops reflecting its diverse community. There’s a sense of tradition here, but also constant movement as cultures and generations meet.

When it comes to events, Flemington offers more than the famous race meetings. We find markets, food festivals, community fairs and live music popping up in local halls and parks. The neighbourhood’s venues range from historic pubs to modern function spaces and open-air reserves. Getting to Flemington is easy, with trains stopping at the local station and several tram and bus routes passing through, making it accessible for locals and visitors alike.
